Now that the post-SPM jovial mood has settled down, everyone's staring to feel unsettled ey? And what with the rumor that results may be out in February, everyone is feeling rather edgy. (but really, when you heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone.... lets just wait for the news shall we?).
People are asking around seniors and friends for future career options.I am no counselor so when someone asks me for advice I'd always give this link http://www.mymajors.com/ . It's not simply any career test. Lets just say its quite detailed. It lists about five career options and considers your strength and weakness as well. You have to register before taking the quiz and as I have said it's detailed so you gotta be patient. It's catered mostly for American students but you'll at least have an idea yeah?
People say it's only the beginning, nothing to be stressed about. They forget it's our future, how can we not be afraid?

Recently, a few of my friends have also me what are their strengths and weaknesses to help them decide on their future paths. Believe me, going on about their strengths wasn't really a problem because they've got great talents and personalities but the latter was quite nerve-wrecking. (I bet some of you are reading this) Well, it's not really our culture to be straightforward so I deliberately chose my words. And Alhamdulillah, I managed and they weren't offended. Hopefully.
So to those of you who are trying still confused, don't despair. Ask from guidance from our Creator and from those who can help. Mr. Internet is one of them. Please don't narrow your choices to really setreotypical careers such as medicine, engineering, accounting etc. They're not bad choices for careers, no I wasn't implying anything of that sort. Rather, I hope people would be more open to other options. Do your research and you might discover something.
I realize that sometimes I talk as if I know a lot but that isn't the case. I'm also struggling to find the right path for my future. I'm planning to take humanities/social science for pre university. So foundation? A level? AUSMAT? SAM? ADP? What do you guys reckon?
